Sweet deal
Every first Sunday of the month, the Barnes Foundation offers free admission for its stunning collection of some of the greatest art ever created. But this free Sunday is sweeter than the rest.
Weckerly's Ice Cream, the small-batch purveyor in West Philadelphia, has set up a pop-up shop at the Barnes so you can fuel your love of art and your sweet tooth. In addition to such flavors as nectarine- rosemary sorbet, caramel corn, and peaches and cream, the Weckerly's pop-up will also sell an exclusive ice cream sandwich called the Barnes Ensemble. The sammy, at right, features two kinds of lemon verbena geranium ice cream: one mixed with local berries, and the other with peach butter.
The Weckerly's pop-up this week takes place not only on Barnes' free Sunday, but will actually be there from now through Monday - the perfect opportunity to take advantage of two special treats. - Molly Eichel
